President Charles de Gaulle defied right wing extremists by announcing the withdrawal of most of nearly 900,000 French troops from Algeria. Riots, bombings, and clashes erupted in France and Algeria with two Jewish boys and a French marine killed. Bombs hit radio and TV relay posts in several cities as pro and anti De Gaulle factions clashed in Oran and other locales. The plan prompted widespread European anger in Oran, gunfire and explosions, and many injuries.
